Title: Lakewood Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Notice of Wrongful Deductions from Security Deposit and Demand for Return Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you as a tenant of [Property Address] in Lakewood, Colorado. Firstly, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for providing me with a comfortable living space during my tenancy. However, I have recently discovered some concerning issues regarding the deductions made from my security deposit upon move-out. I believe that these deductions are wrongful and would like to discuss them further to seek an amicable solution. Notice of Wrongful Deductions: Upon moving out on [Date of Move-Out], I meticulously inspected the property to ensure it was left in the same condition as when I moved in. I did not observe any significant damages caused by me or any items that require repair beyond normal wear and tear. However, I recently received the itemized statement of deductions from my security deposit, and I must express my strong disagreement with its contents. Upon careful examination, I found deductions for the following items that are unjustified: 1. Cleaning Charges: The statement included an excessive cleaning charge for the entire property even though I left it clean and followed proper move-out procedures. I insist on receiving evidence or documentation that supports the necessity of this charge. 2. Repairs and Damages: The statement also mentions repairs or damages that were allegedly attributed to me but fails to provide any specific details or supporting evidence. I kindly request an explanation and detailed documentation of these alleged repairs, including before and after photographs if possible. 3. Unreturned Deposits for Utilities: The statement indicates that my deposit for utilities has not been returned, despite having settled all outstanding bills and providing the necessary documentation as proof. I kindly ask for clarification on why this deposit was not returned and expect a prompt resolution. Demand for Return: After reviewing the unjustified deductions mentioned above, I hereby demand the immediate return of the wrongfully withheld amount from my security deposit. As per Colorado State law, landlords are required to return the tenant's security deposit within 30 days of move-out, along with a detailed explanation for any deductions made. Failure to comply with this legal obligation may result in legal action to recover the full amount of the security deposit, as well as any additional damages.
